Howdy boys! i live in Saskatchewan, Canada. and we have alreadt had a hell of alot of snow. so i decided that i better buy a new set of skins. i did a lot of reserch and contrary to my initial gut feeling of buying straight winter tires, i went with an all season. i decided on Nokian Ventura. best tire i have ever driven on! a little pricey but a great winter tire none the less!! i will let u know come summer how they deal with the other seasons...later.
